Interior Design for Teaching College Reflections

Summary interior design colleges interior design Education can be constraints, interior design can also be a catalyst for this point depends entirely on our teaching model, this interior design Education on the current problems and the reforms envisaged.

0 Introduction
Currently, almost all domestic institutions of higher learning and vocational institutions have set up Art and design disciplines, and interior design has become the subject of one of the most popular, according to industry statistics depArtment, our number has now been six interior designers million, with interior design more than than 800 colleges and universities. how should teaching to make students have achieved, in order to have the ability to engage in interior design? what our teaching, what problems can solve? design is to identify problems, ask questions and solve problems, then we have to use this way of thinking to reflect on our problems.

1 interior design colleges and universities teaching the current problems
Interior design is a combination of Art and technology disciplines, and its wide range, so I believe that the direction in teaching should be refined, while the direction of refinement should be combined with their own hardware and software conditions to be the saying goes : "industry specializing in surgery." Our Culture is not a little but nothing will be proficient in person, but have expertise that can quickly adapt to the talent of professional practice, but many institutions covered in the courses where the content very wide, from interior design to urban planning, has studied under, but very little time each professional course. This has resulted in what the students know a little, but not in-depth design of the case. Over time, students learn not generally reflect things, and no substantive progress.

Another prominent issue is that the theory divorced from reality. To interior design Education, for example: professional courses cover a variety of indoor space, but seriously divorced from reality the teacher in teaching the theory too much, too much emphasis on the practical application of ideas and ignore the practical ability and Many interior design colleges and universities still continue the traditional teaching model, commonly used by the teacher, the students listen to the inculcation of teaching methods, all of the major courses exclusively to the use of theoretical classroom teaching, resulting in seriously divorced from reality programs, students can not understand, or even do not know how it is. Also in the design exercise, the use of hypothetical questions as a design task, even without considering the structure, equipment, orientation and other issues so completely designed for students in the fantasy, there is no sense Each main course is too short of time setting unreasonable conditions that students generally present, many institutions still use decades ago, the teaching mode, a main course ranging from thirty hours, many also sixty hours or so, the course entirely without depth. I often hear students reflect a course, just understand, but too late to in-depth, on an abrupt end, students and teachers the time and effort paid, but with little success. fresh graduates of feedback information is: classroom and teach the job done with the usual design company (firm completely different, basically to completely abandon the old school and re-induction training. This phenomenon is very serious, our indoor design of teaching in a very serious and must solve a problem.

Two pairs of interior design colleges and universities teaching reform Suggestions
Education should serve the community, the same interior design professional Education should be combined with social development to establish a comprehensive training system, more scientific and more effective training for the interior design industry professionals. Since the discovery of so many problems, then it should be actively engaged in reform, break the shackles of traditional education, establish a modern educational ideas, to establish a unique system for their own education. to develop teaching programs must respect the laws of this subject and the actual situation, can not engage across the board, in full accordance with the teaching methods in science and engineering mode requirements. Here the author to focus on reform ideas.

2.1 The application must implement the project pedagogy
Interior design is a very practical subject, which requires employees to have certain professional skills, structure, construction techniques, materials, budget, and so must be mastered. This and other academic disciplines are very different, so I believe that, through pre-professional training in basic theory and practice, based on interior design courses to complete the mission statement can refer to the actual simulation of practical operation. To residential Chenet design courses, for example, using the introduction of Zhenti way of teaching, first collect a number of successful cases for detailed analysis and explanation, and then give a physical space, ask students to draw designs from measurements, to estimate the budget, construction design to complete the full set of design, so that also requires the extension of hours of other space design can also be used similar teaching methods, and during the course combine to adjust the characteristics of the course, such as the number of students to form a team together to complete the form project, on the one hand to develop students awareness of collaboration, the other (the transfer section 165 (on the next page 115 also can meet the different interests of students last year by the Central Academy of Fine Arts School of Architecture, Tsinghua University, Tianjin Academy of Fine College of Design Arts, Architecture and Urban Planning of Tongji University School of Interior Design and Network co-organized by China's "four schools in 2010 graduated four instructors to design experiments teaching environment art-cum-Chinese network of Talents Scheme Interior Design Awards" series, in the "design all "- was officially launched in Shenzhen." four school four teachers' activities are academic and a pioneer in interior design industry to explore, to break the wall between the institutions over the years, from the past only in the exchange of information on teaching, change guidance for direct cross-graduate design graduates to complete the whole process designed to enable students to graduate more in-depth, but also allow students to experience a different direction from many cultural institutions and professional philosophy, so that institutions can have a more mutual extensive and in-depth exchange platform, while ten Shenzhen designer to join, making the event even more connected to the design gap between education and practice, and this activity I think is very good, very worthy of our colleges and universities to learn from.

2.2 The emphasis on construction plans and design ability
Many students focus too much on the performance of the design renderings not pay enough attention to the drawings, this is another very common situation, while construction plans are precisely the most important because it is the basis and standard of construction, no construction plans are not complete construction, at least not correctly, so I believe that teaching in the usual items, but also pay attention to students learning the construction plans. requires students to draw the standards and specifications, working drawings. but also in the classroom teaching, using the standard construction plans and specifications (built drawings and detailed analysis of the students and explain the author in teaching the use of this method, the student feedback information is very good.

2.3 The establishment of related laboratory
Since it is a practical discipline, it requires students to combine theory and practice of. Interior design requirements for construction and decoration materials, process understanding, so I suggest should be able to have a special interior decoration within the construction process and materials laboratory show between in construction technology lab allows students to understand the ceiling structure such as light steel keel, light partition structure, the ridge structure, and so is how the construction, and materials display room allows students more access to the design used in materials look like, its size is the amount of surface texture look like, so that students have a more intuitive impression at the time to do a design, can be more realistic to consider the relationship between processes and materials, rather than just designed to remain in the performance of computer renderings.

3 Conclusion
Interior Design Education reform is in the old way of teaching and training conducted. It requires educators to have some design skills and experience to better develop the community needs of qualified interior designers. Several reforms proposed in this paper ideas not only put a higher demand for teachers, but also the school's management recommendations, the hardware investment is also essential as education side, we have to correct the problems faced, not to escape, but should be actively of a good solution, so as to better promote the professional development.
